Relicensing a de-registered vehicle?

If a vehicle has been de-registered or had its registration cancelled, it must be re-registered to use it on the road again. This involves a safety inspection, certification, registration and licensing. This will be done by an LTSA agency (Automobile Association (AA); Vehicle Identification New Zealand (VINZ); Vehicle Testing New Zealand (VINZ) - see Auto Suppliers section for contact details in your location).

Fees for this service vary between different providers from around $75
